Along with four other Rock Vault designers, Jo Hayes Ward has been asked to design a capsule collection, showcasing not only her own style, but also Chow Tai Fook’s Hearts on Fire diamonds.

Hearts on Fire is the first global diamond brand. Founded in 1996, Hearts on Fire jewellery is sold in 32 countries around the world. The diamonds are truly unique, thanks to using less than 1/10 of 1% of the world’s most transparent and knot-free crystals as well as unique methods to cut and polish the stones, allowing the stone to reflect the maximum amount of light. Simply put, Hearts on Fire diamonds sparkle more than any other diamond.

This November, Jo Hayes Ward traveled to Shanghai and Hong Kong, to see the pieces, which have been produced by Chow Tai Fook with the help of their master craftsmen, for the very first time.

Welcome to the new website! This is still in production and new products will be added daily over the next few weeks so do keep visiting! The old website can still be viewed here.

London Based Designer Jo Hayes Ward launched her fine jewellery brand in 2006 on graduating from her Masters in Goldsmithing, Silversmithing, Metalwork and Jewellery at London's prestigious Royal College of Art. The brand has continued to grow and Jo's work is now internationally available at exclusive concept stores, jewellery galleries and boutiques.

Constructing jewellery from small building block elements, Jo Hayes Ward creates elegant pieces with both an architectural and organic aesthetic. Distinctive characteristics of her award winning designs are pieces, which dramatically catch the light with movement and intricate structures that hint at geometric, mathematical and biological references. Further work examines complex textured and patterned surfaces, reflecting light in multiple directions giving an exquisite tonal quality to the work.

Her timeless yet modern collections include gold orbs that on close inspection dissolve into a filigree of shimmering cubes, stacking rings in a spectrum of different coloured precious metals set with diamonds, and a bespoke collection embracing the setting of custom cut stones.

Crafting her designs in a digital environment Jo employs rapid prototyping technology alongside traditional jewellery techniques in the production of her work. An important aspect of her designs and research is to harness machine marks and exploit them as an aesthetic. This, alongside a tacit knowledge of materials and long-established jewellery skills has enabled Jo to develop her unique signature as a maker of timeless, modern pieces, which come alive when worn.
